Figures 1a and 1b show the fantasy points scored by Philip Rodgers
over the course of the 2016, 2017, and 2018 seasons. In figure 1a, the
2016 and 2017 seasons are compared. In figure 1b, the 2017 and 2018
seasons are compared. A consumer could use this graph to observe any
game-by-game trends or patterns in performance over the course of the
season. Two years are shown simultaneously so the reader can compare the
player’s most recent performance to his performance at the same point in
the season during the previous year.
Ideally, a consumer would be able to select player names from a drop
down menu and display their progress over the course of one or more
selected seasons.
Figure 5 shows a side-by-side comparison of the distribution of
fantasy points scored at the player level for all games in the 2016,
2017, and 2018 seasons. The side-by-side boxplots compare the
performance for the quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends, and wide
receivers of the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. A consumer could use
this to compare the offensive performance of two different teams.
